Teen Titans Annual #3 review

It’s a few months since I read the New 52 Teen Titans, but this annual closes out the current series and I do like to see how a run ends. I was immediately intrigued by the appearance of creepy insect queen Skitter, who vanished from the series early on and was apparently forgotten.It seems she came back […]

Trinity of Sin: Pandora #2 review

Pandora’s meeting with Wonder Woman and Superman has attracted the attention of the good guys and the bad guys.

The devil-masked foe’s not exactly dripping with charisma but as filler villains go, he’s entertaining enough. The real reason to buy this issue is a sizeable scene in which Batgirl […]
